Locations
Locations are the places shifts happen — a unit, a desk, a store, a site. Setting them up with clear names and colors makes every schedule easier to read.
What locations are
A location is simply where a shift takes place. Every shift gets one. They’re the foundation of a schedule — you set them up once, then place shifts at them again and again.
Set these up first
You need at least one location before you can add shifts. It’s the natural first step when you
set up a new team.
Setting them up
1
Name each place clearly
In Configuration, open Locations and add each place with a name people will
recognize — “Front Desk,” “ICU,” “Warehouse B.”
2
Give each one a color
Pick a distinct color per location. On the calendar, color is how you spot at a glance who’s
working where.
3
Edit as things change
Renamed a unit? Want a clearer color? Edit a location any time — shifts already scheduled
there pick up the change.
Locations FAQ
Do I need locations to make a schedule?
Yes — at least one. A shift has to happen somewhere, so you set up your locations first, then build shifts at them.
What do the colors do?
Color is how you tell locations apart at a glance on the calendar. Give each one a distinct color and the schedule becomes much easier to read.
We stopped using a location. Should I delete it?
Removing a location isn’t available yet, so the simplest move is to stop using it for new shifts. All the history of shifts that happened there stays on record.
